Official Blog of YA Author Nova Ren Suma

Do you ever wonder where writers write? Kitchen table, comfy couch, noisy café, tidy office, mattress in the backyard under a beach umbrella? (I am now curious if I know any writers who write on a mattress in the backyard under a beach umbrella. If so, do reveal yourself!)

Whether you were kidding or not, what a great idea… Seriously. Train trips are fairly inexpensive, and what a great way to force yourself to write – what else WOULD you be able to do? Of course, it would be really nice to end up someplace fun, too.

How cool would it be to have a bunch of different authors train-write from their homes to, say, Chicago (for it’s central location) and then have a retreat in the city? Ah, to be rich and free of responsibility….

Thank you, Nova, for letting me into your writing world for my article! I’m glad everyone enjoyed it. As for me, I write at the library, at home and in coffee shops (where I am way too easily distracted by people watching–I call it research).
